She is a Chicago native who studies Asian languages and frequently travels the lands that the Far West often refers to as the Far East. A devout Luddite, Henriette edits Contrary on paper with a red pencil. Logo Designer Andrew von Engel is the owner of engel design, a graphic arts firm based in Eugene, Oregon. Much of his work adorns the landscape of his former home, Central California, where his signs and logos politely accomplish their task without detracting from the green and golden hills around them. His work has illustrated many a publication too, where they politely accomplish their task without detracting from the words around them. He won't tell you any of this himself. He'll just say: "I'm a struggling freelance graphic designer, struggling like all your contributors trying to be heard."   COMMENTARY | POETRY | FICTION | ON THE CONTRARY
